Please can I bring your attention to a recent time that I encountered at the Royal United Hospital, as an in-patient. In particular the magnificent staff and their work I had the good fortune to see and experience first-hand on Haygarth Ward (B50).

My personal experience whilst in the care of the RUH extended over a threeweek period, beginning in A&E, then spending time on MAU and SAU wards, including all the Ultrasound, CT Scan and Xray staff. To my final destination during my stay, the wonderful Haygarth Ward (11 day duration there).

I was diagnosed with a liver abscess by the Gastroenterology Team 10 days into my stay and the staff went into the most incredible professional overdrive, which is their normal practice to all people who are fortunate enough to have the uncompromising care of these truly incredible people.

Letters, Bath Chronicle August 17

I cannot begin to speak highly enough of the care, kindness and professionalism shown by all the staff I came into any kind of contact with. Not only did they endeavour to provide the greatest of care to me they also showed kindness, understanding and compassion to my family and friends.

The staff work tirelessly to make ‘things’ right for everyone in their care. Just watching them work is an inspiration that cannot in any way be diminished. The NHS should be cherished, it is too important to take for granted. We lose it at cost to our nation. We must look after the inspirational, gifted and talented staff that dedicate themselves to the greater care of all people and communities. Please look after them they are precious.
